Computed tomography (CT) of the pelvis with orthogonal views and 3D images of the critical structures superimposed. The "ferris wheel" shows the rotating beams of radiation dose delivered by the linear accelerator.

The first in the world Varian 23-E, Platinum Edition linear accelerator was installed for the opening of the Dattoli Cancer Center in the fall of 2000. Constantly upgraded and partnered with SonArray Basic Ultrasound Guided System, this treatment machine produces the most highly focused and dynamically controlled 4D Image-Guided Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (4D IG-IMRT) available. The on-site Color-Flow Doppler Ultrasound and High-Speed GE Helical CT Scanner are mainstays of the advanced diagnostic tools used at this Center.

A custom-designed information system gathers data from diagnostic procedures and physician input to be transferred into the Varis treatment planning computers. Certified medical dosimetrists and staff physicist create and verify individually designed treatment plans for each patient. Upon review by the physician, the treatment plan is loaded into the program that controls the powerful radiation-producing linear accelerator.

This collection of leading edge technology, the focus of our highly skilled professional staff and the documented results of our work make the Dattoli Cancer Center unique in many ways.
